For over 130 years, Canadians either loved or hated Cherry Blossoms.
Considered a staple of the Christmas season, these candies were often found in stockings.
In January 2025, it was announced Cherry Blossoms were being discontinued.
This is their history.

Everyone who has been angered by horrific images of starvation in Gaza needs to recognize that they wouldn’t see those images, and wouldn’t know about the atrocities their governments bankroll, without journalists risking their lives.
That is exactly why Israel is targeting and killing them.
